Transporting holding device for picture frames or the like

Abstract

A transporting holding device for picture frames (4) or the like, preferably for installation in a transport crate (1), with several, preferably four, frame securing elements (3), further with two lengthwise adjustable guide devices (5) and two crosswise adjustable guide devices (6). The crosswise adjustable guide devices (6) are guided to be adjustable and able to be immobilized on the lengthwise adjustable guide devices (5), and the frame securing elements (3) are guided to be adjustable on the crosswise adjustable guide devices (6). A greater flexibility is created with such a transporting holding device because the frame securing elements (3) are embodied as a comer bracket for supporting a respective comer of the picture frame (4) and/or as a flat side bracket for supporting a respective part of the edge of the picture frame (4).

We claim: 
     
       1. Transporting holding device for picture frames comprising a plurality of frame securing elements, first guide devices and second guide devices for said securing elements, said second guide devices being oriented crosswise relative to said first guide devices; wherein the first and second guide devices are located on a rear wall of a transport crate; wherein the frame securing elements are in the form of flat side brackets for supporting respective parts of the edges of a picture frame; wherein the frame securing elements are provided with means for adjusting the position thereof in a lengthwise direction of the first and second guide devices and means for immobilizing the frame securing elements in positions to which they are adjustable along-the first and second guide devices. 
     
     
       2. Transporting holding device according to claim 1, wherein a padding material is provided on at least inner surfaces of the flat side brackets for providing cushioned contact with the picture frame. 
     
     
       3. Transporting holding device according to claim 2, wherein the rear wall the transport crate is provided with planar padding material and the first and second guide devices are located on the rear wall of the transport crate. 
     
     
       4. Transporting holding device according to claim 3, wherein the fiat side brackets have a wide plate-shaped configuration. 
     
     
       5. Transporting holding device according to claim 3, wherein the flat side brackets forming the frame securing elements are provided with front side pieces for supporting a front side portion of the picture frame. 
     
     
       6. Transporting holding device according to claim 2, wherein the flat side brackets have a wide plate-shaped configuration. 
     
     
       7. Transporting holding device according to claim 2, wherein the flat side brackets forming the frame securing elements are provided with front side pieces for supporting a front side portion of the picture frame. 
     
     
       8. Transporting holding device according to claim 1, wherein the rear wall of the transport crate is provided with planar padding material and the first and second guide devices are located on the rear wall of the transport crate. 
     
     
       9. Transporting holding device according to claim 8, wherein the flat side brackets forming the frame securing elements are provided with front side pieces for supporting a front side portion of the picture frame. 
     
     
       10. Transporting holding device according to claim 8, wherein the flat side brackets have a wide plate-shaped configuration. 
     
     
       11. Transporting holding device according to claim 1, wherein the flat side brackets have a wide plate-shaped configuration. 
     
     
       12. Transporting holding device according to claim 1, wherein the flat side brackets forming the frame securing elements are provided with front side pieces for supporting a front side portion of the picture frame.
